Radiohead will perform in Tampa on May 6, the second stop on its first U.S. tour behind its "In Rainbows" album, promoter Live Nation announced Tuesday.

Tickets for the concert at the Ford Amphitheatre go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.

The arty English rockers made headlines outside the music pages in October when they initially released "In Rainbows" as a pay-what-you-want download available only from the band's Web site. It reached No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart when it was released on CD and made available to other download sites on Jan. 1.

Ticket prices are $32.50, $45 and $55 plus service charges. Call the box office, (813) 740-2446, or Ticketmaster, (813) 287-8844.

Tickets will be on sale Thursday through the band's Web site, www.waste.uk.com.
Emmylou Harris Named To Country Hall

The Country Music Hall of Fame has four new members: Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, the Statler Brothers and the late Ernest "Pop" Stoneman.

Their selection was announced Tuesday by the Country Music Association. They will be formally inducted later this year.

Harris began a successful solo career in 1973 that has spanned pop, country, rock and Americana, and earned her 12 Grammy Awards.

"I've been thinking about this incredible journey I've been on and how I've been blessed," Harris, 60, said. "It's wonderful to be a member of this place that holds so much reverence for me."

The Statler Brothers were first hired as a vocal backing group by Johnny Cash. They had their first hit in 1965 with "Flowers on the Wall."

"We feel like we're in rarified air here, we never expected to be here," said Don Reid, who, with Harold, was one of the only two brothers in the group.

Tom T. Hall is best known as a songwriter who jump-started his solo career following Jeannie C. Reilly's No. 1 hit with his "Harper Valley PTA."

Lenny Kravitz was taken to a hospital Tuesday and will postpone his upcoming European tour because of a bout of bronchitis.

The 43-year-old singer had been struggling with a series of severe respiratory tract infections and the flu since mid-January, his spokeswoman said in a statement.
